Well you're allied with Nephtys so I suppose since she's boss she might allow it

. Who knows though she might not like evil dictator madmen.

Everybody should make sure to check "AI does not change empire in simultaneous game" under empire options, so it never happens again, and make sure to keep a lot of research/intelligence projects in the queue all the time so it never finishes.

Bleah. I don't think we CAN rollback. Since we've been running the game on manual. How many turns of research did you lose? :/

We don't have to ask PBW to roll back. Just go into your e-mail and find last turn's uh turn and upload a replacement turn

.

I don't have the turns stored as e-mails though, it gets filtered as spam. But I know Tux keeps all his turns and so does Uraniun.

My secret weapon.

Post by **Dalton** » 2006-04-09 12:30am

It can move a fucking planet?!

Trogdor · Post by **Trogdor** » 2006-04-09 12:30am

I seriously doubt it. Probably just ships.

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-04-09 12:33am

It moves a ship to a random location anywhere in the tactical combat map.

Prepare for serious hurt fighting 8472 peeps. Not to mention that 8472 has racial shields.

<edit>And Borgesque sized ships.</edit>

ANYWHERE?!

... oy

Lemme guess, massive combat movement and this thing as the last weapon on the list?

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-04-09 12:45am

You guessed it.

Though it isn't as cool as the idea I had for Borg. Basically if I was playing Borg I would be assimilating a ton of ships... I figured out how to use the Borg shield depleters, Borg transporters (destroys self destruct devices) and Borg boarding parties properly near the end of the game. Borg ships are bigger to put these components at the end I'm guessing and guarantee if you win at the end of the battle a shitload of ships, and Borg even have repair drones that repair six components per turn and you can put as many of them as you want in a ship unlike damage control. I figured out the right strategy to use, capture ship primary with point blank secondary.

It isn't as broken as it sounds since there's still maintainence I think. But it would have been cheese

.

Still have the pics in photobucket too...

ATTENTION: DALTON AND ARTHUR!

Okay. Your turns are for turn 1.6, and we're not there yet. Please download the current turn file and use it, else the AI will kick your butts. Please submit quickly and post here when you have, kay? Kay.

Turn's redone.

Nephtys · Post by **Nephtys** » 2006-04-09 10:57pm

Oh Frack me. Trogdor has to do this too. Lemme PM him...

Trogdor · Post by **Trogdor** » 2006-04-10 12:28am

Oops, sorry. My turn's all set now.

Nephtys · Post by **Nephtys** » 2006-04-10 12:30am

Hooray! Turn works. It's up. FIGHT ON!

brianeyci · Post by **brianeyci** » 2006-04-10 12:35am

Not so fast

.

Looks like the AI played Trogdor's turn for him.

No, that was me. I was just trying to do it as quickly as possible and didn't bothering changing the default message.

When you manually upload turns, Neph, you shouldn't use the "replace current turn" option. All it does is prevent the turn counter from incrementing, thus throwing it off.

We're behind a turn. I did this to synch the turn in-game back to the one at PBW, since the computer screwed up a few turns, and we rolled back 1 recently remember?
